The Cluster Architecture (CLAR) platform is a car platform developed by BMW.
It is a modular platform that incorporates steel, aluminium, and optional carbon fibre.[1] It is available with rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive setups and debuted in the G11 7 Series in 2015.[2] It is designed to accommodate a pure ICE drivetrain, has an optional 48-volt electrical system in a mild-hybrid configuration, but also supports plug-in hybrid and battery electric drivetrains.[3]
It was initially called 35up but was later renamed to CLAR.[4] It covers D-segment cars, E-segment cars, F-segment cars, sports cars, SUVs. Smaller BMW cars in the B-segment and C-segment, compact MPV and smaller SUV use the front-wheel drive-based BMW UKL platform instead.
